I liked the idea of inverting the tall jar and then keeping a small plate on top. This will ensure water falls in the basin only. Thanks. Used this idea while setting up the fountain in my balcony. Thanks 👏👏👏
Thank you! Yes, I don't know what I would do with out her! She gets along better with the bees now. I think she got stung on the nose a few times & developed a healthy respect for them;)
If you are worried about cracking the pot while drilling. With a new hole when you get the center all the way through finish the hole from the other side. When enlarging the hole drill about half way from each side. This will also lessen the chances of a blowout when you punch through.
Cute fountain. My dogs have always been fountain drinkers so I let them have access. Of course, mine avoided bees so I didn't have to worry about them eating them. 😁
Your fountain is beautiful...I love the new green portion of it, but am wondering if it's going to be unstable with it being so tall. Have you considered filling the bottom with rocks to support it? Between the children and the dogs, it sounds like you're having challenges with fountains LOL!
With the inner plastic bowl turned upside down to house the pump, shouldn't the bowl rim have more holes to let the water in more rapidly? But I can't wait to see your finished water feature. 👍🏻♥️🇺🇸
Good question, it is a place to put the pump & I made a little notch in the plastic so the pump cord could go through, without it the blue pot would sit on the cord. so it wouldn't sit flat. Hope that makes sense. It also helps the pot from falling over. When my dog drinks & knocks it sometimes it slides on the inverted round pot but doesn't fall over.
The fountain looks great, and I bloody love that shade of blue, it's gorgeous. One thing about those mosquito "dunks" though, there's no doubt chemicals in that which are toxic as fuck, so no doubt it would poison or even kill the bees. Careful with stuff like that, companies don't give a shit as long as they get peoples' money...
Thanks! Yes I think the bti in the dunks is organic but I hear you. I was worried about that too so I ended up going with a patio pond with some fish to eat the mosquitos. They are doing really well & it is fun watching them come up to eat & swim around! Win win for everyone!
@@BloomWhereYourePlanted I love this idea. By far it’s my favorite. I do believe I will try this one. I was wondering if I could fish in there and then saw your response. What type of fish did you put in your pond/fountain?
Sense your big green pot is upside down you really didn’t need the bowl you used in the bottom.. maybe you could use some river rocks to help stabilize the tall big green pot.. you can buy river rocks from Lowes …
I use a little work horse; Canon G7X. I love it! The only disadvantage is it cannot take an on board mic or any mic. So it picks up all the noise around it. That can be really challenging especially in the city! I didn't realize how much noise there is all around me. I have learned to work with it. Face mic, talk loud, stay close to camera, be aware of noises & work around them. Hearing all the noise around me is 2nd nature to me now! When I looked at cameras with mic attachments the price really jumps up! Also I put a little fuzzy piece over the mic to make a wind buff ;) Probs more than you wanted to know! Good luck! Dash
to make it easy/why didn't you just put tube in the pump and pump it to height. instead of put all the ceramic on the pump. You might have to injust the pump. Good job
Its a good idea, but I wouldn't construct anything in the garden if it's detrimental to any wild life. In this case the dog is eating bees. Better to remove the item and let the bees live their short lives.
Yes, I agree, I couldn’t train my dog to stop so I moved my fountain to the front yard in the corner of my garden! I even am able to keep fish in my new little pond/fountain so I can keep mosquitoes at bay & not harm the bees! Win win! 😊
My bees LOVED it they would come drink every afternoon! Unfortunately my crazy dog would chase them away! So now I have a fountain in my front yard garden so the bees can sip nectar & water;)
Hi Rob, They seem only to go to the top. Amazing how they know the safest place to go! Unfortunately my fountain didn't fair very well with the extreme temps in Texas this year! It got all cracked up! So I will be designing a new one this summer. I think I want to add one to my front yard garden also. That should be fun! Something cool to do in the heat of the Summer here in Dallas Texas. Do you have a fountain on your property? Where are you coming from?
@@BloomWhereYourePlanted I utilized two buckets, one large bucket and a five gallon bucket. I cut the larger to about five inches deep, and put the five gallon in that. Placed rocks all around it, drilled two holes in the five gallon bucket just below the top line of the larger bucket, fitted the five gallon with a lid that has a spout on it. Filled it with water, put the lid on the spout and gravity did the rest.
What a Great job you did on that water fountain! Great prices for each one too!
Loved watching your video, thank you for sharing
Very nice. The tall pot is beautiful.

If you wrap the pump in cheesecloth it helps to clean dirt and leaves from clogging up the pump. 👍🏻🇺🇸
That is a great idea! I have been trying to come up with something to keep it from clogging! Such a simple solution! Cheesecloth! thank you!
Yes, thank you for mentioning that. I’ll have to do that to mine.
Love this, especially the help from your adorable doggie. Think someone apart from the wildlife will enjoy the fountain!
Thank you! Yes, I don't know what I would do with out her! She gets along better with the bees now. I think she got stung on the nose a few times & developed a healthy respect for them;)
Adorable and I love your color choices too. Fantastic! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Fill the large bottom bowl with rocks to stabilize the tall pot! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Very pretty 🐱. Thanks 👍
Looks really beautiful. I have to make this fountain. Thanks for sharing, I loved watching your video. I’m in Rome GA.
thx for taking the time to let me know, glad you liked it!
thank you so much for educating me on how to make a fountain = I am headed out to make mine now.......
Yay!! I wish I could see a picture!
This is so beautiful . What size reducer is it? thanks
❤❤ great job. i will be doing this this year. Nice easy water fountain project
Hummingbirds would love that fountain too!!🥰
Great Job! A fun project that I may take on at some point. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the plumbing reducer idea! 💡 Its the exact look I want.
a trick : watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Kingston Douglas yea, have been using Flixzone for since december myself :D
Good job loving this!!
What is that plumbing piece called? And what size is it?
If you are worried about cracking the pot while drilling. With a new hole when you get the center all the way through finish the hole from the other side. When enlarging the hole drill about half way from each side. This will also lessen the chances of a blowout when you punch through.
Great idea, looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful dog ❤
What a great fountain! (Love your dog, too!)
Cute fountain. My dogs have always been fountain drinkers so I let them have access. Of course, mine avoided bees so I didn't have to worry about them eating them. 😁
Very nice! This is one of the simpler methods I've seen.
That turned out really pretty! I am concerned that the beautiful pot may be precarious on the small bowl. Any bump might topple it and it could break.
I love how your dog is so inquisitive watching you like what are you doing mom, can i help you, sweet
Great job!!! Watching in SC!!❤
Like this idea!
Nice job! Great video.
Love the color
You did great job!!
So relatable. Thanks.
Love this!❤
Next time you’re drilling in Masonary spray water on the bit white it’s going down your vessel, will not crack
Dear we really didn't need to see you drill the hole. I didn't make it past the hose. But I get the idea. Beautiful result!
Very nice!
Be mindful of lead glazed pottery.
Yikes! I hadn't thought of that! Good point.
Beautiful!

I'd like to see more of your handyman / the bees knees guy at the beginning.
Ha Ha! I know darn it if he doesn't steal the show everytime! I will try to capture more of his funny/crazy moments;)
love the dog!
Great job!
Thanks!
❤Beautiful
Very pretty, but where do put the electric cord if it is away from the house?
When you first started drilling, I thought to myself, you should be using water. 👍
I LOVE the pot
That is gorgeous. Great idea. Oh why not use Bloom Where You're Planted as your sign.
Thank you, Funny you should say that, we are working on a Bloom Where You're Planted sign now! My daughter is such a great artist, she is helping me!
With the inner plastic bowl turned upside down to house the pump, shouldn't the bowl rim have more holes to let the water in more rapidly? But I can't wait to see your finished water feature. 👍🏻♥️🇺🇸
This is so funky.
Welcome all
love this
Thanks!
Would love to have this! I searched, cannot find anything like it so far.
what was the purpose of the inverted bowl at the bottom. why not just put the talk blue piece in the saucer.
Good question, it is a place to put the pump & I made a little notch in the plastic so the pump cord could go through, without it the blue pot would sit on the cord. so it wouldn't sit flat. Hope that makes sense. It also helps the pot from falling over. When my dog drinks & knocks it sometimes it slides on the inverted round pot but doesn't fall over.
i have a large water bowl in my back yard for the dogs and other nite people.

My sign says:
Never Enough Time! 😊
So true!!
dripping water or putting oil helps not to crack....put holes in bunches of glass blocks
Using a water soaked sponge at the drill hole is the answer. Just squeeze water out as u need it.
Sense your big green pot is upside down you really didn’t need the bowl you used in the bottom.. maybe you could use some river rocks to help stabilize the tall big green pot.. you can buy river rocks from Lowes …
I was wondering what is the purpose of the smaller bowl housing the pump... I like the river rocks idea.
Maje sure it's safe for the dogs cause he's liking it ti drink out of
What camera setup do you use? Thank you
I use a little work horse; Canon G7X. I love it! The only disadvantage is it cannot take an on board mic or any mic. So it picks up all the noise around it. That can be really challenging especially in the city! I didn't realize how much noise there is all around me. I have learned to work with it.

Get some chicken wire and put it around the bottom pot and tuck it inside and the dogs will stop drinking it And also you can do A solar pump
Good ideas! thx
Very nice
scissors and glasses and scotch tape in EVERY ROOM!! HA!
I am sure the birds will visit your fountain also
User-fp ... utiliser l'énergie solaire est peut-être une bonne solution
In the future when you’re drilling a pot like that Take a picture of water and poured on the drill as your drilling
Good advice! thx
How about a sign that reads,
FARMERS OASIS
I think you used a masonry drill bit rather than a masonary drill bit. Lol
If you make it wet is correct. Can see you've never done this before.
Homesteading is always full of new things to learn! Right!? thx
to make it easy/why didn't you just put tube in the pump and pump it to height. instead of put all the ceramic on the pump. You might have to injust the pump. Good job
If it's for bees, it shouldn't be that deep. The rocks should be above the water line.
How pretty and guess what? I'm doing this for my hummingbirds! That dog's going to knock everything over! And after all that work what a shame!
Does anyone make dream catchers.

What all the noise in background 😖😫
okay,okay, pet me and i will help you
It's pretty but not functional for bees
My bees LOVED it they would come drink every afternoon! Unfortunately my crazy dog would chase them away! So now I have a fountain in my front yard garden so the bees can sip nectar & water;)
"Masonry"..."masonary" sounds like a mason who does missionary work. ;-) ;-) ;-)
u will have algae b4 u have skeeters.
so true! It helps to keep it in the shade with algea but I do have to fill it to overflowing to let it wash out all the muck every once in a while;)
your sound was REALLY REALLY BAD
yeah I homestead in the big city of Dallas so there are lots of city noises, keeps it real! Thx for letting me know;)
probably need rocks in the lower water area too as bees might go there and would drown.
